Second, four rounds clarifying the virtue of true severance. Jingxi says: Regarding departing from the four gates, and so forth, since it speaks of cultivation by conditions, these are the four gates of the three teachings. Regarding "all false thoughts," this is completely as explained in the previous text on extinguishing the various characteristics. Regarding "hindrance is bodhi" and so forth, this is the bodhi-principle of the equanimous dharmadhātu. "The Buddhas do not practice" refutes self-cultivation in the expedient teachings. "The Buddhas do not deliver sentient beings" refutes transforming others in the expedient teachings. Whenever speaking of hindrances, they do not exceed these two: that is, seeking above and converting below; seeking above includes oneself, and converting below is solely others; hence it says that it is precisely a hindrance to the vows of the various expedient doctrinal gates.
